marthabrook.com oliverbonas.com Where did summer go? One minute we were reaching for the sun cream and an ice-cold drink, and now we’re looking ahead to September and October – two of my favourite months for weddings. There’s something wonderfully romantic about an early autumn celebration. The days can still be warm enough for an outdoor ceremony or drinks in the sunshine, while the cooler evenings bring the perfect excuse for candlelight, cosy corners and a packed dancefloor. And then there’s the scenery – golden light, changing leaves and a colour palette that seems to have been created especially with weddings in mind. In this issue, we’re embracing the beauty of the season and looking at some of the details that can make your celebration truly unforgettable. First up, we’re putting the spotlight on wedding photography. September and October offer photographers some seriously beautiful conditions, from that soft, golden-hour glow to dramatic skies that can create wonderfully atmospheric images. We’re also turning our attention to venue styling, exploring how the right details can transform a space and create an atmosphere that feels completely personal and inspired by your favourite locations. If you’ve never considered stepping away from traditional ivory, our feature on coloured bridal gowns might just tempt you. From soft blush and delicate blue to rich, romantic tones, colour is becoming an increasingly popular way for brides to express their personality. As September and October usher us gently towards a new season, we hope this issue inspires you to embrace the possibilities – we’ve got plenty to get you thinking. So grab a cuppa, settle in and enjoy the issue. And if you find yourself adding yet another idea to your wedding wishlist, don’t say we didn’t warn you! Happy planning!
